This one is about a Techno granny!
SilverSurfer Queen!
I bought my dear gran a tablet today
To add to her ever increasing collection
Bless her she has caught a terrible bug
And developed some strange addiction
She already has an iPad with retina display
That I thought was to treat her cataracts
Bu it’s for her face time video recording
With additional ‘clear pixel density’ facts
She has traded in her old lap top
And it is definitely not for a lap dog
As long as she doesn’t become a lap dancer
With her own web site and personal blog
I normally borrow a paperback off her
When I go off on my summer holidays
But she has replaced it with a ‘kindle’
To light her fire in so many different ways
She stores all her data in a cloud
And says she likes blue sky thinking
Whilst she skypes all her worldwide web friends
Without as much as blinking
She sends out tweets with her smart phone
And posts on facebook with great success
She has become a key board warrior
To ensure social justice and save the NHS
She takes photographs with her digital camera
And makes herself look 21 again
Using the miracle of photo shop
Without any extortionate cost or pain
She has joined a group called SilverSurfers
For over 50s who are pretty savvy and wise
She has contributed some of her writing
And hopes to win a prize
Yes my dear old gran has left me behind
Despite the fact I am a ‘know it all’ teen
Because instead of acting like an OAP
She has become an incredible techno Queen!
